Back Home

Walking through the heavy metal swinging doors at the hospital is a wonderful feeling; that is when walking from the inside out. While I am thankful to be able to go to the hospital when I am not feeling well and for treatment, it is always a joy to be able to leave again. I was able to come home yesterday afternoon, which is a little bit earlier than the norm. But, I had no problem with that since the doctors felt I would be able to recover at home with an oral antibiotic. I have some sort of sinus infection and am still recovering from it, but I am doing a lot better and my temperature isn’t a high fever like it had been Tuesday night and Wednesday. Additionally, in 24 hours my white blood count quadrupled in number. After my blood test came back and my nurse looked at my white blood count numbers, she looked at me and said, “your body must have been really busy last night.” My white blood cell numbers are still low, but better than what they were. I want to thank you all for the many prayers that helped my bone marrow make white blood cells and helped me to have a relatively short visit to the hospital. I am thankful the infection I have isn’t serious and I look forward to when it is completely gone.

God answers prayer,
Nathan
